Maya Angelou

To be honest, I have heard of Maya Angelou but I wasn’t really a big fan of hers. And now that she peacefully died I will start reading her work. It is sad to me because now that she is dead, it is when I decide to read more about her. She did a lot of amazing things in her life and I regret never knowing a lot about her.

Today, on May 28th, 2014, Maya who was an author, poet, civil rights activist, and etc. peacefully died. She will be remembered.

I loved Maya♡
My favorite quote of hers was the one about not being anyone’s option. I loved it! So glad you included it here. Thank you for this post. Good job. I loved it ! Someday I hope you will review my book 😉 I’d be honored.

The Pledge

I promise to read each day and each night.
I know it’s the key to growing up right.
I’ll read to myself, I’ll read to a crowd.
It makes no difference if silent or loud.
I’ll read at my desk, at home and at school,
on my bean bag or bed, by the fire or pool.
Each book that I read puts smarts in my head
’cause brains grow more thoughts the more they are fed.
Come rain or come shine, snow, wind or sleet,
each day of the week reading’s a treat.
So I take this pledge to make reading my way
of feeding my brain what it needs every day.
